Real goal, get into the swing of Marathon training, and get used to doing 3 days a week of some strength/core while running 35+ MPW
Today's notes: Went pretty well off script today. Was supposed to run 3 miles, then do a bunch of dips and bicep curls. I really wasn't feeling like doing the upper body stuff, so I hopped on the Lateral X machine for 30 minutes to work my leg muscles some more. Nice thing about that machine, I always feel wobbly when I step off, it's a good workout for my quads, glutes, hamstrings, etc...1 -
12/1 - 5.35 miles on treadmill (Trek class)
12/2 - 5 miles. Pleasant for December, about 35°
12/3 - Bodypump class, then 2.25 miles on treadmill
12/4 - Planned rest day.
12/5 - 5.11 miles avoiding slippery spots.
12/6 - Bodypump class, then 2.3 miles on treadmill.
12/7 - 4 miles on the 'mill.
12/8 - 4.6 more 'mill miles (Trek class was full...so I had to run solo)
12/9 - Unplanned rest day.
12/10 - 2.3 miles on the treadmill, then Bodypump.
12/11 - 4.5 'mill miles.
12/12 - Rest day.
12/13 - Bodypump, then 2.25 miles on treadmill.
12/14 - 4 miles on treadmill.
12/15 - 5.3 miles on treadmill (Trek class). Hamstrings are SORE.
12/16 - Recovery day. Yesterday's run/class really beat me up. Hamstrings and hip hurt this morning.
12/17 - 2.5 'mill miles, then Bodypump.
12/18 to 20 - Nada. Dad in hospital with hiatal hernia, so no time to squeeze in a workout.
12/21 - 4 miles on treadmill, then short upper body weight workout.
12/22 - 5 miles on treadmill (Trek class). Lots of incline today.

I have been insanely busy lately with all the craziness of the holidays and some changes at work that I've barely been able to squeeze in some running, let alone keep up with this thread. Today is my last day of work until January 3, so hopefully I'll be able catch up soon. Hope you all are having a good holiday season!2 -
I didn't mind the treadmill other than being hot. I may hop on yet again but we've been so busy. We came to Mayo with 1 opening appointment with gastroenterology and we walked out with about 15 other appts. They are giving the hubs a full once over and covering all his medical conditions, not just the Crohn's we came for. So diabetes and kidney stones and also checks for skin cancer and bone density since medications he takes can cause problems there. So numerous tests, labs and even just education classes to help him manage and understand his health conditions. We will most like have to return in a few weeks though. It's been exhausting for sure. I'm okay other than back pain (darn car ride and hotel bed/pillows) but my husband is literally trashed. He's fallen asleep in the lobby, the cafeteria, and on an exam table. And snored!
Keep running you guys and I hope to be burning rubber in January! 4 -

I hear you! I skipped my run yesterday because my husband surprised me with TSO tickets (well worth the skip!). I did a quick mile with Stella this morning and plan on a few more solo this afternoon. Last day of work before the holiday, so I plan to head out early and hopefully hit a bit of the bike path before it gets dark. Although, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, we are working with the shortest amounts of daylight here. On the bright side (yeah, pun intended), the days will start to get longer...hooray!
We will be driving to Pittsburgh tomorrow evening to spend Christmas with my family. I think I will try to knock out my long run tomorrow morning so I don't have to worry about fitting it in while there. My mom's area does have some pretty nice bike trails though, so I am sure I will be hitting them. I plan to get at least 25 miles in over Friday/Saturday/Sunday. Just not sure yet how and when they will get done. I feel like e rebel without a plan and I love it! LOL.
I haven't really been keeping up with my ticker. I am just north of 100 miles for the month and probably in reasonably good shape to make my goal of 160. If I don't get a chance to check in until next Monday, have a great weekend everyone and happy holidays!1 -
@greenolivetree Glad to hear they can offer some help!0

Christmas Miracle I ran this morning - yes folks I know.
3 miles out of way too many to make my goal.
@mom3over40 Skip is always the one to stick at camera in my face after a race, honestly go AWAY. She always looks awesome, I always look like death.
This showed up on my newsfeed on FB this morning...true just so true

@mom3over40 Congrats on a race well run!
@Orphia You know, my husband spent 17 years running bookstores. We were big readers for years, but now he barely reads any books at all. I read less than I used to mostly due to not having time for it, but he really has a hard time getting into a book, even if it is something he is interested in. I wonder if that is a common thing for former booksellers.
@greenolivetree Sounds like the Mayo visit was fruitful. Too bad it was also so exhausting. You and hubby take care!
@skippygirlsmom I can SO relate to that picture!
Have a fabulous rest of the day everyone!

@skippygirlsmom - love that picture!
@orphia - I still love reading when I have time, but now I also am always listening to books. I even listen to books while running some of the time. Fiction/mystery books, not running books while running. I think that most of the world has lost attention span. I can tell you as a teacher, it seems like every year it just goes down. Teachers do not just stand and talk to kids anymore, like it was many years ago. Kids have to be doing something to learn. Adults too I suppose.
Day 29 of Holiday Streak. Ran intervals this morning. Then took a long relaxing hot bath with epsom salt. Feel like such a bum, lol. Still some wrapping to do.
Tomorrow is a rest day (so 1 mile for streak). Then Christmas Eve will be a long bike ride with 1 mile. Then not sure on Christmas day how far I will go.

@skippygirlsmom Love that photo! It's so true.
Had a great run last night, my club went on its annual Santa pub crawl. We ran about a mile to a pub, had a drink, then ran another mile to another pub etc. We went to 4 pubs and then back to the clubhouse for pizza, more drink (!) and other snacks. It was so much fun, we did conga lines across the road whenever we crossed, we ran round the local supermarkets (because we were collecting for charity all the way round) and had so much fun. Don't remember the last time I laughed so much, and finally got to chat properly and meet some new people from the club. Plus, got quite drunk (eep
but it was worth it). So glad I joined them instead of some of the other running clubs that take everything just a bit too seriously. Loved it!
There were a lot of us too:

A guide to women's running jackets. I had to laugh at her comment that no one jacket will work, oh Lordie isn't that the truth. I have more running jackets than regular jackets, the chilly weather one, the cold weather one, the raining weather, the raining but cold, the raining but warmer, the holy *kitten* I'm going to die it's so cold out here and of course the "I look so good in this after I run" jacket! ha ha I did have to laugh at the $300 price tag of the rain jacket blah blah blah!!!
I did like this baby right here though:
Sugoi Women’s Versa Jacket – MSRP: $125.00
It’s a jacket! No, it’s a vest! Wait – it’s BOTH. Perfect for those times when you’re just not sure how much protection and coverage you will need, the Versa is convertible. This jacket is built with magnets that hold the sleeves in place when you need them, and allow you to pull them off when you don’t. Pack the sleeves away in your jacket pockets for easy storage on the run

@louubelle16 that run sounds like too much fun, love the picture! Our Fleet Feet is having a pajamma run tonight. ha ha the other night a guy sponsored a run at a track, you couldn't wear your watch or anything that would time, you had to tell in advance how long it would take you to run 1 lap then stop and eat or drink a "holiday" snack whether it was a food or drink like hot chocolate, when run another lap, some thing. All in all you can to run a mile I think it was. The closest person was only 3 seconds off, that is pretty impressive. The furthest was like 10 minutes off.1 -
@skippygirlsmom I bought my husband a male version of that Sugoi jacket for running and biking. I was hoping it would inspire him : ) He does love the jacket. It's really nice quality. Although I am not sure if he's ever taken the sleeves off. Personally, I am loving that high visability Asics jacket!0

I managed to get my run in between the hail showers. I don't think I would have gone out this evening if |I hadn't been reading about the temperatures and conditions many of you are braving so I said to myself 'Suck it up Marissa and get out there'.
All the photos are great!

Today was the 1st time I did speed work (other than my race) since my hamstring injury. It went very well, I had no pain, and it was fun running fast. I'm sore from my muscles being worked out but it's not an injury type soreness. I'm loving these cooler temps with highs in the upper 30s / low 40s. I feel like I have the cold weather gear figured out now athough our highs will be around 70 over the weekend, and that's great weather too!3 -
@skippygirlsmom Omg...love that picture!! At my 1st PT appt...my most important question was when I could run again. Thankfully, I wasn't in a full body cast. Lol!1
-
@skippygirlsmom I love that jacket! We had a mild winter last winter so I just ran in long sleeves or a couple cheap jackets. So I haven't invested in a variety of running jackets.
We have a lot of down time this afternoon before hubby's evening mri but my back hurts and I don't want to get sweaty right now, so no treadmill. Still hoping for tomorrow, then we probably travel home christmas eve.1 -
I might not get my long run in this week. I have this cough/cold thing coming on, and getting up early to get in my 10 miler tomorrow, before heading to see family over Christmas, just doesn't seem wise. I'm already at my goal for the month, so a shorter, 6 mile run tomorrow, and a short 4 on Christmas eve, followed by rest on christmas, and probably rest (and driving home) on the 26th, seems like a better idea.0

Now this is some planning - he said the Santa took and hour to plan out.

@skippygirlsmom You seem like just the person I need to ask right now - is there such a thing as a running jacket that actually keeps you dry when it rains? I went out for a run in the rain on Monday and have a stinking cold now, and I don't think that helped. I was soaked right through. My supposed 'showerproof' running jacket would be soaked right through if a kitten sneezed on it...0

@louubelle16 - I have a Nike Ripstop running jacket and it keeps me nice and dry. It has a hood too that connects behind the collar so no water runs down my neck.0 -

Today's notes – Life Happening caught up to me yesterday. The plan had been to run 5 easy miles. Got to 5:30 PM, and had to choose between running in the dark with Christmas traffic, or calling it a rest day. I called it a rest day, got to bed at a somewhat reasonable hour, and soaked up 10 hours of sleep. I must have really needed that rest day. (Other stuff going on - tax prep training, lots of sedentary computer time associated with that, too much free pizza with training. Holidays are tough, even when I know I can't out-run a crappy diet.)
Today has stuff going on, too; but at least I was well rested when I started the day later than normal. Got out to run past 11 AM, knowing that I would not find time in the afternoon or evening. It was a balmy 34º F (+1º C), so I dressed more lightly than in recent days; but I found there was a noticeable WSW wind when I got out there. (Garmin says 11 mph W; it felt stronger than that, but at the warm temp it wasn't a huge problem.) Put in my 5 easy miles on the planned winter route, wearing trail shoes because we had another inch of snow overnight. (What else is new in the Land of Lake Effect Snow?) The roads were pretty clear, but the trail shoes gave me confidence to stay on the shoulders with some slush and snow when there was traffic. After the watch ticked over 5 miles, I picked up the pace, then ran a stride from the last fire hydrant to my driveway. Ended up with an average pace of 7:43, a bit on the fast side for an easy run; but it felt good, and the HR data says I was only above Zone 2 for 62 seconds. I'll take it.
The afternoon was a jumble of household maintenance stuff, lunch, and baking a sweet potato pie to take this evening for the running club celebration where we'll give Coach his Christmas present. Now the only task left on my to-do list for today is pick up a squirt can of whipped cream before the celebration. I can handle that.
I feel a lot better for having got a run in today, even if it was just a short one. I should do another 5 miles tomorrow, to make up for yesterday's unplanned rest day. Saturday's plan is 13 miles at a pace of 8:00 or 8:30, depending on what the program needs.
. . . and all of a sudden, I realize I should be starting the structured training program for Boston on Sunday. Yes, on Christmas Day. First day's assignment is "easy," which means I work out how many miles I need for the week, assign a piece of that to Sunday, and run it easy. Hmm. For Boston 2016, I scaled the plan from a base of 46 miles per week. I think I'll scale it from a base of 40 miles per week for Boston 2017. I will run a bit over 40 this week. It's not a solid base, so I'll need to be mentally prepared to water down the training plan workouts if that is physically necessary.
Now, 16 weeks of reminding myself that the point isn't to run Boston fast. The point is to run Boston to be in good shape afterwards.

I went out for a run in the rain on Monday and have a stinking cold now, and I don't think that helped. I was soaked right through. My supposed 'showerproof' running jacket would be soaked right through if a kitten sneezed on it...
I just picked up a very light Columbia windbreaker / rain jacket at Dicks Sporting Goods. It's vented in the back, but doesnt have pit zips. I was on a budget and it was only $32 compared with other jackets for running that were $80 - $100+. Anyway, it's worked very well...took it out on a cold rainy day, and it kept me dry. It also has a hood that can be stowed away and I pulled it over a baseball cap so my face stayed dry too. I also used this jacket as a an outer layer in the cold weather, and it definitely kept me warm from the -2 windchill I ran in on Sunday.1 -

Looking for it now looks like they don't make the one I have any longer and it hasn't been all that long that I bought it... It looks kind of like the Shield Flash or the ShieldRunner although mine does not have armpit zippers but it does have the vents in the back where the Shield Flash doesn't...0 -
Well scratch that. In a good way. Test got squeezed in for tomorrow and we'll stay in MN through christmas into next week for consultation. Sat/Sun/Mon should be down days so I'll definitely be hitting the treadmill. Unless I convince hubby to let me go buy a running jacket and venture onto the nearby trails It's supposed to snow tomorrow. 1

There's snow coming on Christmas and could be a lot, based on thr forecast. Not sure how much Rochester is getting, but be ready. Hope thr test gets you all some good news0
